Today’s re-release: a talk with the brilliant Ilana Harris-Babou, whose exhibition Wholesome Fun runs at Kunsthaus Hamburg through November 28th AND whose survey is at University of Chattanooga’s ICA through Nov 5th. It’s no secret I’m a huge Ilana-Harris Babou fan. We share interests: unraveling the commodification of cart, playing with slime and glop, appropriating advertising verbiage..the list goes on.. Check out her shows, listen to the ep!
